The two state House seats in Pinal County’s Legislative District 8 will remain in Republican hands, as Democrat Carmen Casillas came up short against Republican Rep. T.J. Shope and political newcomer David Cook.

Democratic Rep. Randy Friese coasted to an easy re-election, though his appointed seatmate, Democratic Rep. Matt Kopec, succumbed to a third Democratic challenger in the Democratic primary for the two House seats in Tucson’s Legislative District 9.

Despite being massively outspent in his three-way primary, Republican Rep. Noel Campbell pulled away from his Republican primary challengers to snag the first of two House seats in Legislative District 1.
